But Atletico kept their focus. Diego Costa equalized in the 35th minute and Mourinho was sent to the dressing room in the 75th minute in a bizarre incident that even he didn&#8217;t seem to understand and the bookings began to pile up.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 13 players were booked in the match, including Ronaldo, who was sent off in the 114th minute for catching Gabi in the face with his studs after throwing tantrums throughout much of the match. Gabi, with a wad of cotton up his nose to plug the bleeding, was sent off himself just before the final whistle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/> Posted in <a href=\"http:\/\/nigerianews.disnaija.com\/\">Nigeria News. <\/a>A <a href=\"http:\/\/disnaija.com\">DisNaija.Com<\/a> network.<\/p>\n<p>Source:  Citizens Platform<\/p>\n<p><b>DisNaija.Com<\/b> publishes regular posts on <a href=\"http:\/\/nigeria-news.disnaija.com\/\">Nigeria News,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/nigerian-newspapers.disnaija.com\/\">Nigerian Newspapers,<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/online-nigeria.disnaija.com\/\">Online Nigeria Gist.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dis_Naija\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DisNaija\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like-box\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DisNaija\" data-width=\"292\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-stream=\"false\" data-header=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/disnaija.com\" data-send=\"true\" data-width=\"200\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-action=\"recommend\"><\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/nigerianews.disnaija.com\/citizens-platform\/athletico-beat-real-after-19-years-to-win-copa-del-rey-title\/\">Nigeria News<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dis_Naija\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" data-show-count=\"true\" data-size=\"large\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @Dis_Naija<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Your Opinion Counts.
